Not at all. I use the '83 Greyhawk boxed set, and build the rest out from there. I'd certainly swipe an idea or 2 from later greyhawk products, but I sure am not concerned with canon in the least.

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head.

Pulp/Crimson Skies/Skycaptain Barsoom Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers/Pulpy kind of thing I'd also like to play in a solid Classic Traveller game

In general: They ran Gary off. Not only did they chase out a creative entity, they lost a guy who could have righted the ship after their financial troubles. That was a first, big mistake in my opinion. Secondly, they produced a lot of of sub-par crapola. Granted, this is hindsight, and I...

Perhaps the younger demographics are more lucrative markets than us old farts, and this is a step to target them?

I like KoDT a bunch. Personally, I wish it were about 65/35 comic/"other" content myself, but I think the D-team's head would explode from the creative exertion if they tried that for more than 2 issues.

None of which I feel I need. I've been quite happy taking the 83 boxed set and expanding it with my own material. On top of that, my experience with LG, via the RPG, has been less than satisfying. Oh, and having downloaded a bunch, I found most of the adventures to be sub-par. Says you. I'm...

Totally. Well, OK, the swords are Ratan.

Speak for yourself. :]

It is truly sad. The Moldvay Basic set is where I got my start in D&D, and is still my favorite version of the game. RIP, Tom. Your work is appreciated, even in your absence.

Very, very sad to hear that, as I'd love to read it.

Kobolds Ate My Baby! and of course the aforementioned Moldvay/Cook B/X

Seconded.

dunno, but I'm suspicious of any die whose opposing sides do not add up to (# sides + 1).

Yeah, I had a new player walk into a magic shop and ask for a longsword +3. There was about 10 seconds of stunned silence, before the laughter began. I guess the look of disdain on my face was pretty funny. But again, he had different expectations from the rest of the group. I helped him...

Nobody I game with owns a cat. That's....uuuhhhh......16 people between various groups. Not a cat owner among them. Personally, I can't stand cats. They love me, however. Irony: It's not just for breakfast.

Depends on the setting. Hyboria? Yeah, that's kinda out of place. FR? Probably OK there. Homebrew megaworld? On every corner. Greyhawk? Could go either way. I've run Greyhawk as both uber-magic and low magic grim'n'gritty. Like most things, it depends on the expectations of the group.

What a bunch of freaking Nazis! If KenM thought they were bad here, he should drop in over there! Especially that one admin, IUD or whatever his "Kate"-lovin, goosestepping, punka$$ login is. I'm outa there and never going back! Maybe they'll appreciate me when I'm gone!

We use some of the spells and magic items. Not much else.

Yeah, well, we have that streak of missing each other. Can't put it in jeopardy!
